I think some people here are hating on the guy because he isn't another Brees at 1/25th the price

I dunno man, could be....I'm just ridin' the SPECULATION TRAIN here, but Jake Delhomme, old guy, able to hold field goals -- that does kinda fit the "Mark Brunell model." I still can't figure out how Brunell ended up on our roster. I don't think I knew he was even with the team until all of a sudden in 2009 he was out there holding field goals. I was like, "wait, he's with us?"

I don't wish anything bad for Daniel and I'd like to see him re-signed, but I just don't think the Saints can afford him, since he'll be looking for more than the $1M per annum he played under last season.

I'll be happy if he gets a chance to compete for the starting job with some other team - if it isn't any of the NFC South teams - and I'll be happy that I don't have to see him and Brees come together after a TD in those stupid choreographed celebrations ever again.

No reason to hate on Chase. Good Luck. Jake is not going to come here no way. We got a coach who knows how to devolp a quarterback you will see some yongblood here.

I believe we will sign Daniel to another 1 year deal for 1 million unless someone offers him starter money or chance to be the starter. Let's face it, if we don't sign him we will have to sign a player that doesn't know the offense and also be the new holder on kicks although I wouldn't mind the idea of Morstead holding and it will probably be for $500,000 or so. It's not that much of a difference in money. If not Daniel, who do you think we would sign?

Part of me hopes Chase finds a starting opportunity. The greedy part as I have a 1 of a kind rookie trading card of his that will make me some profits should he get an opportunity with a franchise that has a passionate fan base. But the Saints fan in me wants him around. I think he fits our offense well as a support role and god forbid something happens he can step in and not be a deer in headlights.
